Here are today’s outright assignments…
- Rays righty Josh Lueke cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Durham, MLB Daily Dish’s Chris Cotillo tweets. Tampa designated Lueke for assignment two days ago in order to clear roster space for fellow righty Kirby Yates.
- The Athletics have outrighted outfielder Kent Matthes to Double-A Midland, according to the MLB.com transactions page. Matthes was originally designated for assignment on Friday. The 27-year-old outfielder has a .217/.275/.370 slash line and five homers in a combined 200 PA for the Athletics’ Triple-A and Double-A squads this season.
